Iran’s President Signals Willingness to Resume Peace Talks. What Stands in the Way?
Qatar, which formerly served as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran, said Tuesday that it supports efforts to rekindle peace talks.
“This escalation will not benefit anyone,” Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesman, Dr. Majid Al-Ansari, told the press. “We are all affected by this escalation. Therefore we urge the parties, first, to exercise wisdom and return to the negotiating track, and we continue and intensify our efforts with our mediation partners to ensure a return to this track.”
What’s blocking renewed U.S.-Iran peace talks?
Finding a new path forward for the U.S. and Iran is complicated by resistance on multiple fronts.
The Iranian Students’ News Agency reported that Pezeshkian was “clear” in his statement that Iran is “not seeking war.” But the President also faces internal pressure from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), whose leaders have indicated that they are prepared to continue confronting the U.S. It said last month it has not yet reached its “final objective.”
